[TowerTalk] Subject: Shunt Fed Trylon 72 Ft for 160?

[Phil Camera]

I do close to the same as Gene does for my Trylon 72 ft tower.  I use a cage of three wires held out about 2 ft from the tower with PVC pipe.  See piks at link below.  They terminate about 35 ft above ground and I use an Omega match to match them (all Vac variavble now rather than that first attempt shown in the piks)  Also I have a KT34XA up top and have since laid down 60 132 foot radials around the base.  I have no trouble feeding a KW into the system.  I have a decent match for about 1/2 of the 160M band.  It works like a champ!  Phil  KB9CRY
